Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an air flow structure for an autonomous cleaning device and an autonomous cleaning device. The air flow structure includes: a cleaning component (1), a cleaning target storage component (2), and a power component (3) arranged in turn in a moving direction of the autonomous cleaning device; a primary air duct (4) between the cleaning component (1) and the cleaning target storage component (2), to enable cleaning targets cleaned by the cleaning component (1) to be delivered to the cleaning target storage component (2) by air flow generated by the power component (3); a secondary air duct (5) between the cleaning target storage component (2) and the power component (3), wherein the secondary air duct (5) is shaped as a bell mouth and the secondary air duct has an inner wall, of which an upstream part (51) is arc-shaped.
